Certain statements contained in this discussion or elsewhere in this report may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Words and phrases such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “designed to achieve”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future – including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, general conditions in the geographic areas where we operate – are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that may affect outcomes and results are beyond our ability to control.

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VI
(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF September 30, 2009

1. GENERAL

DSI Realty Income Fund VI, a California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), has two general partners (DSI Properties, Inc. and Diversified Investors Agency) and limited partners owning 23,753 limited partnership units, which were purchased for $500 per unit. The general partners have made no capital contributions to the Partnership and are not required to make any capital contributions in the future. The Partnership has a maximum life of 50 years and was formed on March 27, 1981, under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of acquiring and operating real estate.

The Partnership owns mini-storage facilities located in Vallejo, California; Arvada, Federal Heights and Colorado Springs, Colorado; and two in Santa Rosa, California. All facilities were purchased from Dahn Corporation ("Dahn"). Dahn is not affiliated with the Partnership. Dahn is affiliated with other partnerships in which DSI Properties, Inc. is a general partner.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Partnership's management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 825-10 (formerly FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments) ("ASC 825"), which requires that the fair value
disclosures required for all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107,  "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," be included in interim financial statements.  This FSP also requires entities to
disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an iterim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods.  FSP 107-1 was effective for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of FSP 107-1 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10 (formerly Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events) ("ASC 855"). ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the
balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  In accordance with this Statement, entities should apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after
June 15, 2009.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB approved its Accounting Standards Codification, or Codification, as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental
entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff.  The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009.  There-
fore, starting from the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, all references made to US GAAP will use the new Codification numbering system prescribed by the FASB.  As the Codification is not intended to change or
alter existing US GAAP, it did not have any impact on the Partnership's financial statements.

As a result of the Partnership's implementation of the Codification during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable.  In the current
quarter financial statements, the Partnership will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impact of recently adopted accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since
the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 (ASU 2009-05), "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value."  ASU 2009-05 amends
Subtopic 820-10, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall," and provides clarification for the fair value measurement of liabilities.  ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period including interim
period beginning after issuance.  The Partnership does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-05 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. PROPERTY

Properties owned by the Partnership are all mini-storage facilities. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 20 years. Property under capital leases is amortized over the lives of the respective leases. The total cost of property and accumulated depreciation at September 30, 2009 were as follows:
 

	September 30, 2009	December 31, 2008
Land	$ 1,512,000	$ 1,512,000
Buildings and improvements	7,515,006	7,515,006
Rental trucks under capital leases	161,181	161,181
Total	9,188,187	9,188,187
Less accumulated depreciation	(7,667,840)	(7,660,823)
Property – net	$ 1,520,347	$ 1,527,364

3. NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT

Net income per limited partnership unit is calculated by dividing the net income allocated to the limited partners by the number of limited partnership units outstanding during the period.

4. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES AND GENERAL PARTNERS' INCENTIVE MANAGEMENT FEE

Under the Agreement of Limited Partnership, the general partners are to be allocated 1% of the net profits or losses from operations, and the limited partners are to be allocated the balance of the net profits or losses from operations in proportion to their limited partnership interests. The general partners are also entitled to receive a percentage, based on a predetermined formula, of any cash distribution from the sale, other disposition, or refinancing of the project.

In addition, the general partners are entitled to receive an incentive management fee for supervising the operations of the Partnership. The fee is to be paid in an amount equal to 9% per annum of the cash available for distribution on a cumulative basis, calculated as cash generated from operations less capital expenditures.

5. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership has entered into a management agreement with Dahn to operate its mini-storage facilities. The management agreement provides for a management fee equal to 6% of gross revenue from operations, which is defined as the entire amount of all receipts from the renting or leasing of storage compartments and sale of locks. The management agreement is renewable annually. Dahn earned management fees equal to $38,479 and $42,363, for the three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amounts payable to Dahn at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $12,181 and $12,952, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue recognition - Revenue is recognized using the accrual method based on contractual amounts provided for in the lease agreements, which approximates recognition on a straight-line basis. The term of the lease agreements is usually less than one year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2009 COMPARED TO 2008

For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, revenues decreased 9.7% to $627,222 from $694,923 and total expenses increased 5.3% to $405,876 from $385,515, resulting in a decrease in net income of 28.5% to $221,346 from $309,408. Rental revenues decreased primarily as a result of lower occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities averaged 77.5% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to 82.2% for the same period in 2008. Operating expenses increased $17,504 or 7.6% primarily due to increases in advertising and truck lease expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $16,306 or 24.9% primarily as a result of an increase in legal and professional and office supply expenses.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, revenues decreased 6.1% to $1,918,546 from $2,044,013 and total expenses increased 6.7% to $1,236,198 from $1,158,856, resulting in a decrease in net income of 22.9% to $682,348 from $885,157. Rental revenues decreased primarily as a result of lower occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities averaged 76.3% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to 80.9% for the same period in 2008. Operating expenses increased $122,410 or 17.8% primarily due to increases in advertising, repairs and maintenance, salaries and wages and real estate tax expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $2,228 or 1.0% primarily as a result of an increase in legal and professional and office supply expenses partially offset by a decrease in computer and equipment lease expenses.

The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing improvement and maintenance of Partnership properties with cash generated from operations. In addition, the Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not required.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of DSI Properties, Inc., its General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have been no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the reporting period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
